Gu Yunjiao waved her hand, "Mom, no need, it’s only a few miles away, it won’t take long to get there."
Mrs. Chen said softly, "I’m worried that Erlang won’t give up. If you go alone, he might try sothing again."
Gu Yunjiao thought about it and realized it made sense.
Even if she carried a machete, it might not be enough against Jiang Erlang.
After all, the machete’s role was primarily to intimidate.
Mrs. Chen hesitated, "Your neck, if your mother asks about it tomorrow—"
Gu Yunjiao pressed her lips together and said nothing; her mother wouldn’t care about such things.
Mrs. Chen took out the tael of silver Gu Yunjiao had given her, "Take this and buy sothing for your mother. Although Da Lang is gone, you’re always a daughter-in-law in our family, going ho empty-handed doesn’t look good."
Gu Yunjiao pushed the silver back, "Mom, just keep this silver with peace of mind."
"I don’t need to buy anything when I go ho."
Seeing Gu Yunjiao insist, Mrs. Chen said no more.
anwhile, Mrs. Zhou called Mrs. Yang into the main room, and the two chattered for a long ti before Mrs. Yang ca out.
Gu Yunjiao went to sleep early.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up, having dreamt about the earthquake again.
She stood in the place right before the earthquake—the dicinal herb warehouse of her family.
She opened her eyes and found that she was indeed in the dicinal herb warehouse!
Grandfather and great uncle of Gu Yunjiao were both masters of traditional Chinese dicine.
Previously, they would write a prescription and instruct patients to get their dicine from an old reputable shop in the Capital City, where the dicine was genuine and of good quality.
Unexpectedly, at one point, a patient called to complain that the dicine had little effect.
Grandfather was puzzled; he had confidence in his prescriptions, so it could only be a problem with the dicine. He asked the patient to bring the unused dicine in for inspection and found that the most expensive ingredient, musk, was only half the amount it should have been.
Musk is very expensive; quality natural musk now costs seven to eight hundred per gram.
Later, the pharmacy did replace the musk, stating that their scale couldn’t asure such a small weight, hence the mistake.
But ever since then, grandfather never trusted external pharmacies again, sourcing his own herbs and preparing crucial ones himself.
When patients ca back for consultation, the herbs were taken from their family’s own stock, in precise amounts, ensuring the best quality, as this was the only way to ensure efficacy.
Their family’s herb stockroom, called a stockroom, was essentially a well-stocked dicine shop, with arrangents similar to a pharmacy. However, this shop did not serve the public, only handling prescriptions from their family.
At this mont, Gu Yunjiao looked at the wall full of herb cabinets, then at the shelves with antlers, the specialized shelf with tiger bones, deer antlers, musk, bezoar, ginseng, and Gastrodia. She pinched her arm hard, and it hurt—she wasn’t dreaming.
Suddenly, she had a realization: the dicinal herb warehouse had traveled through ti with her.
She happily walked to the door, wondering if by opening it, she would return.
She turned the handle, but the door wouldn’t open.
Looking outside the window, there was a void, as if shrouded in a vast, white mist.
Gu Yunjiao felt a bit disappointed. Coming out of the herb warehouse, she found herself still in bed, with San Ya sleeping beside her.
Unable to sleep, Gu Yunjiao’s thoughts wandered, and she re-entered the herb warehouse.
She randomly opened a drawer, finding licorice inside. She took a handful of licorice, thought of leaving, and found herself back in bed, still holding the licorice in her hand.
She could take herbs from the warehouse for external use, which excited Gu Yunjiao.
Not to ntion, having this pharmacy in hand, her survival was assured in the future.
Gu Yunjiao was excited for quite a while before she gradually fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, Gu Yunjiao was awakened by a whizzing sound.
